Moving to Singapore?

Trust Mercia Movers for a Smooth, Compliant Transition

Relocating to Singapore? Whether you’re starting a new job, relocating with family, or returning home, Mercia Movers provides expert international moving and shipping services to ensure your move is seamless, secure, and stress-free.

Singapore’s customs procedures are clear but strict — and our team ensures full compliance at every step. If you’re importing used household goods and personal effects, you may qualify for GST (Goods & Services Tax) relief — provided you’ve lived abroad for more than six months and submit proper documentation such as your employment pass, passport copy, and a detailed packing inventory.

Even if your employment pass isn’t in hand yet, Singapore allows clearance using an Approved-in-Principle letter and employer confirmation. If GST relief isn’t available, a 7% GST is applied to the declared used value of your goods.

Our clients benefit from fast customs clearance — typically 2–5 working days — and you don’t even need to be in Singapore when your goods arrive, as long as documentation is complete in advance.

Returning Singaporeans and Permanent Residents must provide proof of overseas employment, while diplomatic shipments enjoy duty exemption with proper embassy verification.

We’ll also advise you on restricted or discouraged items. For example, importing vehicles is highly regulated and taxed — with fees exceeding 130% of the market value. Items like alcohol, tobacco, and videos are permitted but strictly monitored, requiring accurate declarations and sometimes screening or duties. Prohibited items include chewing gum, e-cigarettes, fireworks, and obscene media — Singapore enforces customs law seriously.

Whether you’re moving your home, valuables, or pets, Mercia Movers handles packing, shipping, customs documentation, and destination delivery with care. With experience, transparency, and full insurance options, we’re your trusted partner in international relocation.
